Cyclophilin A-mediated cis/trans isomerization modulates RIN4 to control intracellular rhizobial infection in legumes

This study shows Cyclophilin A modulates RIN4 conformation to control legume infection by rhizobia, revealing a host-symbiont interaction mechanism.

Expanding plant trait databases using large language model: A case study on flower color extraction

This paper uses a large language model to extract flower color data from Flora descriptions, expanding the TRY Plant Trait Database and linking it with environmental data to analyze flower color-environment relationships.

Frame-shift mutation of InCO might cause early flowering of Japanese morning glory and might have contributed to northward expansion

The paper identifies a frame-shift mutation in InCO causing early flowering in Japanese morning glory, which may have facilitated its northward expansion into temperate Asia.
